Hooper is brilliant. I have a few of his drawing reference books that are also great.

I was about to list of some 'do this/don't do this' about going for a tattoo and thought better of it.

Everyone is different and takes it in as such. Let your artist guide you through it and enjoy the experience. For me it is almost meditative…which is not to say it is comfortable, because it isn't. I love mine and regret none of them. If anyone tells you it is a passing fad, they're ignorant. Tattooing pre-dates Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Ancient Egyptians tattooed, as did the Vikings. Tattoos are here to stay. Pretty cool to be taking part in a tradition that is older than written history.

Looking forward to hearing about your first and seeing some pics.

I try not to preach my views about style and placement, but I do have one piece of advice regarding tattoos:

Do it because YOU want it, NOT to impress others. Ask yourself: if no-one ever saw your tattoo, would you still be happy with it - if yes, then you're on a winner. Be honest with yourself.

that is all!

That's one mighty advise I think some folks even here should follow….

[Finn666]

great advice which imo everyone should follow RnR…
